I'm quite pleased with Takayama Katsuhiko for series composition - he's a rock-solid veteran who's done very good work with adaptations. But if you look at his credits, there's one series on there that sure doesn't fit with the rest.

is Ishida gay in real life? I mean, he voices so many gay characters so I was wondering, or is it just an industry coincidence like with Kei Fujiwara always voicing old guys who die?

I think they're chosen by how deep their voices are and how they sound. It's not a coincedence that Fujiwara mostly voices old guys. Just like Norio Wakamoto usually does the evil, bad guy. He could be gay though, I don't know.

Do you really think this sort of information could be out in the open in the seiyuu industry, of all places? :P

Back on topic, I'm still being wary of expecting anything from this adaptation (the lack of official website until yesterday didn't help one bit), but I must admit it doesn't hurt to read names like Akira Ishida, Yukana and Matsuoka Yuki (!! it feels like it's been forever since I've last heard her) - as well as the Yousei Teikoku OP. Now that is a perfect fit.

Wakamoto is Deus. Ok, I was thinking of skipping this since the manga made me care less and less about it as it reached it's end (but the ending itself wasn't dreadful or anything) and having assread working on this was another reason for me not to care but now that I know Wakamoto is on board, I'll definitely stick around for as long as I can. Akise was also one of the things I liked about the manga so him being voiced by Ishida is another plus.

Maybe it'll turn out good and assread will finally make me not add an extra 's' to their name whenever I mention them.

EDIT: Oh and I can't say I really like Yuno's voice from the so called OVA. Her VA having Iris from Denyuden as her previous role really does not help my impression of her. At all.(Damn you Iris I've always wanted to gag your mouth shut whenever you spoke.)
